I noticed that there is #define TCS_MULTILINE 512 in the prg file for the TFolder class. Does this mean there is a way to code multiline folders? If so, how is it done?

Charles,

Do you plan to create them from source code or from resources ?

Hi Antonio -

From resources.

Antonio -
Do you have any ideas about creating multiline folders with tfolder? I use Resource workshop to create folders and enter "SysTabControl32" rather than tfolder as the class. Then I save the dll to a RC file and compile it with my exe.
I use the tfolder coding in my prg.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Maurilio -
I have worked with this (with xHarbour) and had some limited success. However, you only get the multiline folders with the NEW method. Since I realy need to do it with resources, I have modified the redefine method to include the multiline. This gives me all of the folders, but half of them are out of view and accessable only by clicking a small button that appears at the top right of the folder and scrolls them in view. I noticed this same thing with the source code sample provided and there appears to be no difference in code between the multiline example and the scrolling example. Is there some automatic adjustment made by windows that depends on something like size?

Charles

Charles,

I will ask Rossine about it. He was who made the changes in original TFolder class...

Maurilio -

I was mistaken in my last post. There are some differences in the way teh examples are coded in the testfld5.prg sample. I completely missed the BUTTON and BUT_MULT commands. My old eyes are giving me problems! I should be abel to get it working now. Thanks for your help.

Maurilio-
I got the multiline folders working fine from resources. The trick is that the style has to come from the resource file and all I did was to put TCS_MULTILINE directly into the RC file as part of the Style description. Resource Workshop won't accept it, but adding it directly to the RC at the same time I put in the xpmanifest stuff works fine.

Thanks, again,

Charles
